Proud of the decisions we made against Bulgaria, admits Tyrone Mings

"I am very proud of everyone for the decisions we made. I went to Harry Kane first. He spoke to the manager, who then spoke to the fourth officials. Everyone was aware of it but we ultimately let our football do the talking and didn't get distracted by anything. Just before the end of the first half the appropriate next step was to return to the changing room. We made a common-sense decision to play the remaining few minutes and decided at half-time. Everybody made the decision," Mings told BBC Radio 5 Live after his England debut.

The Bulgaria supporters racially abused a number of England players including Raheem Sterling and Tyrone Mings. Abuse in the form of Nazi salutes and monkey chanting were aimed at Mings and other players. The play was first stopped for the first time just before the half-hour mark. This was when the referee came to the dug-out to let Gareth Southgate know that the team can walk off the pitch following the abuse from Bulgarians. The game then continued until 43rd minute when the game was brought to a halt for the second time.

“The manager, the team, the supporting staff. We spoke about it at half-time and we dealt with it and escalated it in the right way. I am proud of how we dealt with it and took the appropriate steps. I could hear it as clear as day. It doesn't affect me too much. I feel more sorry for those people who feel they have to have those opinions. It was a great night for me personally. It was a really proud moment in my career. I hope everyone enjoys this moment and it isn't overshadowed" concluded Mings.
